You know, I kinda don't want Palin on-ticket — some of her supporters are too close to a "cult of personality" for my taste (and cult of personality is one reason I disliked Obama from the outset).
I think that she would bring much support from the Evangelical crowd- but she probably will still have high negatives, from all the past slanders and libels.
Personally I like Cruz-Martinez, just so that, when speaking with liberals, I could say the ticket with the thickest, most affected, Spanish accent imaginable, trilling the R's, triple-U sound in Cruz, etc.

I’m a giant Palin supporter, but I don’t think she’d play well on a Cruz ticket. His running mate should be someone from north of the Mason-Dixon line who has more of a mild image. I could see running Paul Ryan for VP again...
Even better would be a conservative woman, but other than Palin none come to mind offhand.
I do not agree.
We need both of them on our ticket. Either Palin / Cruz, or Cruz / Palin.
Palin is our safety valve, against what may otherwise turn into a landslide of “Cruz has birth issues”.
I don’t believe he does, but unlike Obama the media will rush to question Cruz.
Palin is a safety valve to that.
Nominate the two of them, together.
